Green Deal Cashback

The Green Deal Cashback Scheme is a first-come, first-served offer where householders in England and Wales can claim Cashback from Government on energy saving improvements like insulation, front doors, windows and boilers. Packages could be worth over £1000 - the more you do, the more you get.

Are you a Charity or CIC?

Who is eligible?

The Cashback Scheme is open to householders making energy saving improvements under the Green Deal. This includes owner-occupiers, those renting privately or in social housing. Landlords, both private and social, are also eligible where they pay installation costs, up to certain limits.

Green Deal Cashback is a limited offer while funds last. Government has guaranteed that £40m will be available at the rates listed on this site. After this, Cashback amounts may reduce.

Householders will need to apply for a voucher which will be redeemed once Cashback work is completed. To qualify for the Cashback householders must:

Have a Green Deal assessment carried out on the property

Get and agree quotes from a Green Deal Provider who’s registered with the Cashback scheme** (this could be directly with a national brand or through a local tradesperson linked with a Provider)

Apply for Cashback voucher online or by phone. Your Provider may be able to do this for you – ask them

Receive a voucher confirming the Cashback amount

Complete works within a specified period

Providers will redeem the voucher on your behalf and you'll receive Cashback payment within 30 days.
Remember that Cashback payments are only available for work recommended on your Green Deal Assessment.

Householders can fund improvements through a Green Deal Plan, or however they wish, and get the
Cashback but they must use a Green Deal Provider to arrange the work. The more improvements a
householder makes, the bigger the Cashback.

Householders can only make one claim for the Cashback, but it may cover a package of improvements recommended by the Green Deal assessment. The Government Cashback is separate and additional to any similar offers that may be made by Green Deal Providers.

Householders can also choose to donate some or all of their Cashback to a charity or community interest company who has signed up with the Cashback Administrator.

How much could I get?

Up to £125m has been earmarked for the Cashback Scheme. The rates below are guaranteed for the
first £40m after which they are likely to reduce. Act early to get the best rates.

Loft insulation (including top up) and insulating cavity walls (where appropriate) are important,
basic energy saving measures. So where a Green Deal assessment recommends these alongside other
improvements, householders will only be able to get the Cashback if they do these too.

Further conditions of Cashback
* A minimum of 50% of external walls must be insulated to qualify for a Cashback on solid wall insulation.
** Cannot be claimed at same time as boiler replacement (as this is a regulatory requirement).
*** Householders should consider their renewable heat options, as they could get a higher payment under Renewable Heat Premium Payment now, for certain measures.
